Child Sexual Exploitation

Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) came to prominence following incidents in Rotherham. Online grooming can happen to both boys and girls, of any age, and whatever their sexuality and no matter where they’re from or what their cultural background is.

CSE is where someone is taking advantage of a child sexually for their own benefit. It generally involves people using technology to make contact with children and young people with the intention of grooming them.

Those who seek to groom children or young people might try to gain their trust by using a fake profile picture and fake personal details and by pretending to have similar interests as them.

This is one of the biggest dangers to children today and so we monitor our students very closely for signs of:

inappropriate online relationships

unexplained gifts or money

extreme tiredness

older boyfriends / girlfriends

regularly missing school

going missing for periods of time or regularly coming home late

Please talk to a member of the safegua​rding team if you are worried about your child. The Yorkshire support groups are Basis for girls and Blast for boys.
